Actually, solar, wind, and geothermal energy are all very effective. The problem is we aren't willing to put forth the money into research on collection methods and into building more of them.

They may not be as powerful as oil, but they are clean and renewable.
JakeMartinez Reviewed by JakeMartinez on . Palin and Big Oil... Connection? I think so! Firstly, I must admit that I am not that politically active, and only view it from the side from time to time. After living in America for 17 years, I left to return to my home country, but still have family in the states, so I like to see whats going on over there... Now to the point. Bush was the governor of Texas before being president. There is a lot of oil in Texas. Palin is the governor of Alaska. There is a lot of oil in Alaska. Both are complete idiots and have no idea about Rating: 5
